Abstract
Methods, systems, and computer readable media for selecting numbers from multiple ranges are disclosed. One method includes receiving, information associated with a plurality of ranges, selecting, by a module implemented using a non-transitory computer readable medium, iteratively selecting numbers from within the ranges such that, during a selection iteration, a given number within one of the ranges is not selected more than once and such that a sequence of numbers selected during the selection iteration appears to be random, and utilizing the numbers selected during the selection iteration to control at least one aspect of testing a network or storage device.
Claims19
A method for selecting numbers from multiple ranges, the method comprising:
- receiving information associated with a plurality of ranges;
- iteratively selecting, by a module implemented using a non-transitory computer readable medium, numbers from within the ranges such that, during a selection iteration, a given number within one of the ranges is not selected more than once and such that a sequence of numbers selected during the selection iteration appears to be random;
- and
- utilizing the numbers selected during the selection iteration to control at least one aspect of testing a network or storage device.
A system for selecting numbers from multiple ranges, the system comprising:
- a communications interface configured to receive information associated with a plurality of ranges;
- and
- a module implemented using a non-transitory computer readable medium, wherein the module is configured to iteratively select numbers from within the ranges such that, during a selection iteration, a given number within one of the ranges is not selected more than once and such that a sequence of numbers selected during the selection iteration appears to be random and to utilize the numbers selected during the selection iteration to control at least one aspect of testing a network or storage device.
A non-transitory computer readable medium comprising computer executable instructions embodied in the computer readable medium that when executed by a processor of a computer control the computer to perform steps comprising:
- receiving information associated with a plurality of ranges;
- iteratively selecting numbers from within the ranges such that, during a selection iteration, a given number within one of the ranges is not selected more than once and such that a sequence of numbers selected during the selection iteration appears to be random;
- and
- utilizing the numbers selected during the selection iteration to control at least one aspect of testing a network or storage device.
